Hey I always loved throwing down Peasants, loved it when the enemy went after those blocks or the archers.

Anyway I think the new rules are outstanding and I cannot wait to get back into the game. I fear much time will be taken up creating army lists, been there before, is there an armybuilder smart phone app:)

The addition of the terrain rules and the need to wipe out enemy units seems to me would add to the overall gameplay and idea of strategy and tactics. For so long we have been saying to newbies "stick to a battleplan" now this concept should be easier to understand.

Very excited about 8th ed.

Went to the den the other day, first time in awhile, watched some Flames of War...cool, watched some 40K...meh

What I like best is that the FAQ's are being updated regularly! Wood Elves already have an update. It isn't one that I like but it does clear up some things that were a bit unclear.

The moonstone isn't as good as it was when they first released the FAQ though. In the first FAQ it said that it could be used in any movement phase (your's or your opponent's) to teleport a unit from one forest to another. It could even be used to teleport out of combat so you could get charged, hold and then teleport away before any blows were struck, thus stranding an enemy unit in the forest. Now its been changed to only working in your turn so thats not an option anymore.

Make sure everyone keeps an eye on your armie's respective FAQ, don't print them out until the day before the tournament just in case they get updated.
